I can digest cliches, albeit difficultly, but outright lying? Sample this: “New Zealand are very similar to us in the way that they walk around, they are very confident, bordering on arrogant, which is a good thing”.

Now New Zealand have always been one of my favorite teams, ever since I saw a fat Greatbatch bat away to glory in the 1992 World Cup. But there are two things the Kiwis are not: confident and arrogant. For shame, Mark.

That last sentence reminds me of someone. Who was he, among all the Australians in this planet? Hmmmmm. I’m sure there was someone and if this was one of his sentences (maybe calling them sentences is a bit too much), it would rank high in terms of nonsense. But then again, who was he, I wonder?
